A happy Lord's Day to you, Stephanie! I love the hymns you share, and I always toddle over to Youtube to hear them if it's a new one for me. Thank you for sharing your love of hymns with us. :)Have a lovely day!Toni

Oh, dearest Stephanie, one of the highlights of my Sabbath is visiting and reading the beautiful hymns and verses that so encourage me and many others, I am sure. I so love the added beauty of your roses today - so gorgeous colors and a great reminder of the beauty of having Christ in our lives! Praise God and thank you! Hugs! xoxo

"God's delight is to administer comfort to wounded spirits" I like that.You add even more beauty to our Sunday's with your posts sharing the hymns, and those roses are stunning. I love the singled out pink rose.Have a beautiful day and be blessed~~

Oh, how precious, dear Stephanie! I love this poem. I think about all of the names our dear Lord could have referred to when He was speaking about the precious Holy Spirit, but He chose to call Him "The Comforter". And, He IS such a dear comfort....oh, the times I have drawn from that comfort throughout life. When my dear mother left this world almost four years ago, one of the verses that sustained me was Isaiah 66:13, "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you..." And He HAS. He is absolutely true to His Word, and He is there for us in all of our sorrows. He is precious to my soul!

Wow! What beautiful roses. This is such an encouraging post. How lovely all your Sunday posts are and they are such a blessing. The one thought I find most needed is that after the Lord is there for us during our difficult times and provides what we need, then it is our responsibility to use the experience to help others in similar situations. We need to "make each test a testimony". Thanks precious lady for your encouragement.

The quote by Jeremiah with which you begin your post, my precious Stephanie, is all a programm, I so love these words !Thank you for this so inspiring work, my Dearest One, your roses are as sweet as you !

Hope you're having a lovely Lord's Day, I'm sending blessings of joy on the begin of your new week ahead,with so much thankfulness

Don't we all have some suffering in this life? None of us are exempt from it, and yes, we need Our Lord to be there to comfort our "wonded spirits". Thank you for sharing the beautiful words and lovely pictures...so gentle and so kind on this day of my dear Dad's passing 30 years ago to enter his heavenly home. Love to you, sweet friend!

. . . . . .The Home. . . . . .

“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” -Jani Ortlund
